Trail description

From Havna, cross the Røssesundet strait east and into the narrow strait which takes you under the Øra-brua bridge (county road 380), which separates Brøtsø in the north and Hvasser in the south. Head north following Brøtsø island along the eastern shoreline. Many quaint, private cabins are found along the water in this area.

When you arrive at the island Uleholmen, you will see the northern edge of Hvasser island in the east. Cross over the strait to this point. Continue paddling north, crossing Vasskalvsund strait, which separates Hvasser in the south and Vasskalven island in the north. As you round northern edge of Vasskalven island, cross to the islands, Frougen in the north and then to Ildverket in the east. On the western side of the island, you will find a pier and a great place to take a break and even stay the night.

Be aware of boat traffic in this area, their speeds can be much higher than in the sheltered waters. Return to Havna along the same route.

Route types

There are three types of routes found in Outtt.

1. Out-and-back
An out-and-back route takes you to a certain point, for example the peak of a mountain, before returning to the start along the same trail. Distance and duration calculations are based on the total trip.

2. Loop
A loop route, also known as a circuit, brings you back to the start while avoiding retracing your steps. Distance and duration calculations are based on the total trip.

3. Point-to-point
A point-to-point route takes you from one location to another, without returning to the start. Distance and duration calculations are based on one-way travel.
